has any one in the uk tried a sim card from the "THREE" network in an exec.
just curious to see if it works.
haven't tried it in an O2 branded one, but 3 have just released the Universal on their network apparently
When i first got my Exec i was still with 3 (now i have left thank goodness!). I used my Exec with my 3 USIM with no problems at all mainly because i got it from an O2 shop and it was unlocked.
I hope this helps.

I have an unlocked XDA working with an Orange SIM, I have been given an O2 SIM by my company and want to use it with my XDA, but when I put the O2 SIM in my XDA it will not receive any signal. I tried a T-Mobile SIM and this seems to work ok, but the O2 SIM will not connect to the network. Is this to do with the fact that I have unlocked the XDA?
When I unlocked the XDA I ude the XDAunlock utility and do not have a copy of the lock code. Does any body have ant ideas please?

Are You sure, that the O2 Sim is working? Have you tried it in an other phone?
How old is this SIMcard? I know that there were som eproblems with a view SIMcards.
It's no problem of the unlocking.

Both T-Mobile and Orange in the UK use the 1800 band, the O2 sim uses the 900 band, I would be interested to know if a Vodafone sim will work, can you get hold of one and try it?
My guess is if you have brought the phone 2nd hand it is barred on O2, due to the fact that cross network barring did not start till about the middle of last year if the phone was reported lost/stolen etc etc before then it will still work on the other networks, also make sure you have the setting so it can pick up signal on the 900mhz (O2 Vodafone) or it will never work.
:? Hi, Cruisin thru,lonegunman and lumpistefan
Thanks for your replys, the O2 SIM has been tried in an XDAII and works ok. The phone is not lost or stolen I have bought from the guy with the XDAII and I was with him when he bought the XDA I.
As far as I know the GSM is set to 900/1800 (its a model 10A), does it need to be set to just 900 for it to work with O2?
The SIM card is approx 1 year old and works ok in an XDA II.
Unfortunately I do not know anybody with a Vodaphone SIM.
I will try changing the band to 900 and see if this works, I assume this is done via the bootloader method (holding power button while pressing reset).
Many thanks , any other ideas would be appreciated.
Frootmig.
Have a seach round on here I think you will find that it is a sim card fault and you need a new one.
:wink: I bought the mini s yesterday from O2 and the salesperson stated that its not network locked. I didnt believe at first but when i tried it with the other network sim, and she is correct :shock: . It is really unlocked! Now I slimply swapped the sims from my phone. I need a smaller one when I go out to the pubs.
The only downside i noticed is that not all my programs and games works in this new OS.

:
All O2 contract phones are now unlocked
After buying my wizard, I installed a pre-paid sim card and am totally happy. (Debitel-light on the E-plus network)
I bought my Dodpod about 6 weeks ago in Singapore, put in my Optus 3G Sim and it all worked a treat. Today I tried to change carriers to the new Telstra NEXTG 3 G network and the phone does not recognise the SIM. I have tried the Telstra SIM in my Nokia E61 and it works fine, but the Dodpod will not recognise the sim. And telstr are selling the JasJam as their preferred phone. All Telstra help desk would say is that the Dopod is not guaranteed on their network and to go talk to Dopod. Very helpful. But clearly the issue is with my Dopod as the Nokia works OK. Any clues anybody on what I can do other than going back to Optus?

I would say flash it to another ROM like the Telstra ROM found here:

If your phone is not unlocked yet you can get it unlocked here:

I purchased a 2nd hand o2 xda exec on ebay, and put my old o2 SIM in it but it constantly says searching. At first I thought this may be because the SIM was an old 2G not 3G sim, so I purchased an o2 3G PAYGO sim and tried again.
CE 1.30.107, Extended 1.30.162, Radio 1.0.9
Still no luck....
I've tried Buzz's Unlocking utility just in case it was locked to a different network, but this being an o2 device I would expect it to be locked to o2 if anything. The unlock utility said it succeeded in unlocking. But still no service.
After a while I get a box appearing with:
Select a network:
O2-UK
@ VF-UK
@ Orange
@ 23420
T-Mobile UK
I've even seen a 'G' icon & and while at work a 'U' icon, so I would guess the radio does work.
I've even checked out the imei to make sure it wasn't blocked on the network (lost/stolen).
I'm a little stuck now what to do, other to use it as a PDA without phone functionality. I might see if i can borrow a Vodafone or Orange SIM to try out.
Anyone seen anything similar, or have any ideas?
Vodafone works
I just tried a vodafone SIM, it worked fine.
I'm having the same problem with an old O2 genie sim it cant find the network any ideas as to why?
If you have seen a G and a U symbol then it HAS actually registered on the network, else you'd have seen an X there. so that rules it out as an IMEI lock out.
Ok as a long shot upgrade your radio to 1.15 and give that a whirl.

Travelled from UK to USA and using my HTC TyTN II changed UK O2 SIM card for an AT&T SIM card. Used loads of KOA Kamp sites wireless and once AT&T 3G SMS and voice services in USA and all worked fine.
Returned to UK removed AT&T SIM card inserted UK O2 SIM card and of course sods law my O2 SIM card will not register or connect to UK O2 Network.
HTC TyTN II dialogue box displays a message "Smart chip not provisioned MM 2" and that a data connection, that I cannot find, needs changing.
I Phoned the UK O2 customer services and very helpful a call centre operator says your phone needs replacing (like hell it does)
I suspect that registering the AT&T SIM card a registry setting is changed and that it is an altered that is causing the UK O2 network connection failure.
Is it possible that someone will tell me what has occurred and/or a solution?
PS Enjoyed the two white knuckle car rides Highway One South Big Sur to LA and Westport CA to Bodega Bay!
if it's a reg then a hardreset should set it straight
When a SIM Card not working "Think Simple"
Thank you
17 July 2007 called HTC technical support staff Edyta, reference 080717 UK 08315084 replaced O2 SIM card that will not connect to Network.
Retest using T-Mobile SIM TyTN II works just fine. Insert an O2 XDA other O2 SIM Card and TyTN II works just fine. Contacting O2 for a replacement SIM. O2 sending replacement SIM card with failed SIM card existing mobile number and carried forward credit.
Moral here is think simple
